idol

Lyrics

he was a light star, tripping on a high wire, bulldog stubborn, born uneven, a classless creature, a man for all seasons, but don't bet them, they can't take him, to the very bottom, because they made him and they'll waste him, and i don't believe that i want to watch them, 'cause the fifties shifted out of gear, he was an idol then, now he's an idol here, but his face has changed, he's not the same no more, and i have to say that i like the way his music sounded before, he was tight-assed, walking on broken glass, highly prized in the wallet size, the number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes, but don't pretend that it won't end, in the depth of your despair, you went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes, to peanuts from the lion's share
